Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Metz is served by 3 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Luxembourg-Findel International Airport (LUX), 57 km (35 mi) from the centre, whose 13,123-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft.

| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Luxembourg-Findel International Airport | LUX | 57 km (35 mi) | 13,123 ft | 1,234 ft |
| Metz-Nancy-Lorraine Airport (regional) | ETZ | 16 km (10 mi) | 8,202 ft | 870 ft |
| Saarbrücken Airport (regional) | SCN | 69 km (43 mi) | 6,562 ft | 1,058 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 13,123 ft, LUX can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 1,234 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
